Campsite is ALWAYS in fantastic condition, no excessive debris on camp road or in sites. Rules are followed by users and beaches are a pleasure to use. We camp at Reeder 3-5 times yearly, the current camp host are EXCEPTIONAl, especially if compared to other campsites. Disappointed in water service this year, but did not hinder our pleasure is using the site.

Location is great but it seems maintenance has gone downhill. No potable water, many downed trees impacting site spaces, very noisy water or sewer pump near site 17.
